Cook responded to the email expressing concern and gratitude for sharing the story. "Thanks for sharing his story with us. Please give him my best. Tim."
It’s noteworthy that even though it’s not recognized as a health device, the Apple Watch, with its array of sensors, has been instrumental in alerting users to health issues.
The latest Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 sold in the U.S. have the blood oxygen detection feature disabled. However, it’s still functional on international models and devices sold before Jan. 18.
Why It Matters: This isn’t the first time the Apple Watch has been recognized for its life-saving capabilities. Users have previously reported how the device alerted them of serious heart conditions, leading to timely medical interventions that potentially saved their lives.
